If you are running Vista please switch off UAC before installing Postgresql

The newest version is 1.09 beta 9, and it wouldn't hurt anything if you were running beta 9, and ran the update patch again. But I digress.



actually alread and it is trying to start the program but says that i don't have sufficient privileges to start the system services..........i tried to start it through the services menu in the control panel but that dosent' work...any help would be appreciated thanks.

Try this:

Please delete one file, C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\data\postmaster.pid, and start the postgresql service thru the Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, or you can do it by going to Start > Programs > PostgreSQL 8.3 > Start Service.

If that doesn't work for you, please email fabio@holdemmanager.net, with a link to this thread, your forum name, and your AIM/MSN/Skype, so you can setup a Teamviewer (http://www.teamviewer.com)session.

He should be in touch soon. If he doesn't, feel free to PM me or email me at fozzy@holdemmanager.net and I can either find him, or else try to do the remote support myself.
